The article from the 23rd of April in the online Indian news publication The Peninsula On-line is a classic news story, taking the standard who, what, where, when, why and how form.

Interestingly, the Education Fair (which the article is about) is aimed at prospecgtive international students, looking for a university.

The Indian government has authorised EdCIL for the placement of international students seeking admission in institutions in India. This is first Indian education road show being organised by EdCIL in Qatar.

“India, with its hundreds of top-ranking universities and higher education institutions, offers good opportunities for students worldwide. A wide spectrum of internationally recongnised courses and study programmes are available in the county at a very reasonable cost. This education fair is our first initiative to raise awareness among Indian and foreign students here about the higher education scenario in India,” Anju Banerjee, chairperson and managing director, EdCIL said in a press conference yesterday.

 

I think it would be interesting to see what the government offers for local students; like what opportunities are on offer for INdian students, especially when:

EdCIL will act as the local guardian for the students being recruited through it to various Indian institutions. “All the student’s fees will be paid through EdCIL and the institutions will not be able to levy any additional fees other than those agreed upon during the placement interviews,”
